went sliding last night, 1 min in the car starts to bog bad enough to have to be towed home. woke up today started it up, still not idling keeps cutting off, i took off connect to maf, and prob stopped, pluged it in and prob started again, i went to get new s14sr maf i thought was same as s13sr, maf was wrong connection, so i rigged 3 wires in harness, and was gunna connect after i started the car, what i didnt notice is the wires i rigged were touching the body. when i started it, it ran like shit, and i saw some smoke coming from wires. i shut it off, tried to start again, no fuel pump, cars not starting, brake lights and turn signals are on, and "engine cont" fuse in fuse box is blown.

I have no idea what to do, and any info would help.

Sounds like you shorted the circuit which caused the smoke. Better replace all the fuses that need replacing, and make sure the ECU didn't get harmed either when you ghetto rigged it.
